Doctor Xiao had arrived, and this somewhat surprised Tangyu; however, his surprise soon cleared as Tangyu understood that Doctor Xiao must have come on a mission. Everything was within his expectations. Tangyu did not invite Doctor Xiao into the Princess Apartments but met her outside instead.
She was still dressed in white, her face still exceptionally beautiful. But now, Doctor Xiao no longer gave off that ethereal, celestial impression. Instead, she appeared colder, more haggard, and visibly shaken. Her emotions surged, yet she managed to appear very composed, very quiet—quiet as millennium-old ice. Between her brows, though she endeavored to hide it, beneath the calm surface, a storm was already raging—complex and chaotic.
Just standing there, one could feel her heartbreak, her despair.
The phrase "life is unfair" couldn't be more fitting than in the case of Doctor Xiao.
